The biggest piece of advice I would give to other women and girls is that it's really hard, and I feel like we're promised in like these phrases like, "Never give up," and stuff like that, it's going to be easier if you just listen to them. In my experience, and I think the experience of my friends and other women around me, it's a lot—you have to do a lot for yourself because the world isn't as friendly to women and girls as it should be, and it's not as helpful as it should be. So my answer would be to help each other, and to help yourself, and to put yourself first, and to put the other women around you first. Because there's nothing wrong with those phrases, but I think when they're put in the context of survival they're very light, and they don't quite explain what's actually happening. Protect yourself and to protect other girls and to form a sisterhood or your version of a sisterhood and to thrive in that. - Rowan Blanchard for Glamour’s September 2016 issue
